Circle \odot O with diameter \overline{AB} has chord \overline{CD} drawn such that \overline{AB} is perpendicular to \overline{CD} at P. Another circle \odot A is drawn, sharing chord \overline{CD}. A point Q on minor arc \overline{CD} of \odot A is chosen so that \text{m} \angle AQP + \text{m} \angle QPB = 60^\circ. Line l is tangent to \odot A through Q and a point X on l is chosen such that PX=BX. If PQ = 13 and BQ = 35, find QX.
